General Question

What are some good types or flavors of tea (real tea) to make iced tea from, for a party?

I am having a party for my mom’s birthday, which is toward the end of June. It’s just a casual thing out on the deck, and since it will be summer time I want to serve some iced tea. I know there are tons of varieties and flavors of tea out there. What are some types or flavors of tea that I can make some nice, unusual iced tea out of?

Jamaica (Iced Hibiscus tea) would be a perfect summer drink, it’s refeshing and tartish.
Goes best with a liberal bit of fresh juice from a citrus fruit to bring out the citrusy flavor of the hibiscus.

I just came across this Blog where this woman has made her own homemade flavored iced teas using jams, fruit juices, sweetners and herbs and spices. Might be worth a try if you are feeling adventurous.

Plus I totally forgot about the good old Arnold Palmer, which is half iced tea and half lemonade.
